there are laws where the law enforcement can't go into campuses and follow these students. if a parent can't check on a student, check their grades or classes or know if they're coming or going, that's a problem. the fbi can't either nor law enforcement. so, you know, the system has to get better but at the same time, citizens have rights. how can you keep a nation and country secure but at the same time afford the rights and freedoms that makes this the best and greatest nation to live in and to reside? >> it's not an easy balance. not an easy balance. thank you very much for the discussion. obviously we've got to figure this out. it's troubling to people because the more we learn about him being in russia and coming back and posting a video about a radicalizer who was there at the same time, it's frustrating. but limitations to every system. we're going to take a break. when we come back, we have brand new information just in about a phone conversation between the suspect's father and their uncle that may be a window into why this happened. it's lots of things. all waking

one law enforcement official pointed me towards a line that runs between new york city and toronto. it runs actually from buffalo, new york. i'm told that the plan was to detonate explosives in canada. and derail -- and derail the train. and my law enforcement source said there had been some reports that they wanted to wage a spectacular attack, blow up a bridge. he said no. he said what they were doing was to target the train on the tressels, and actually what they wanted to do was derail the train and cause maximum injury to the people on it. >> so two quick follow-ups with you, gloria. first, whether we look at u.s. response here of what happened in boston, canada, an example of it working well, right? coordinated investigation, caught the plot early, and they have been watching it for over a year, haddize izeyes on the si, right? >> they had eyes on the situational they had informants in the community that they believed would be lucrative for them, and that certainly worked out. i think they -- it is clear to me that they worked in concert with united states law enforcement and

police officer, seriously injured another local law enforcement officer. do we have any idea where they got those weapons? >> not yet. and i think that question also extends to the explosives, as well. but this is an investigation pursuing lots of lines of inquiry both foreign and domestic. i would have to guess, though, that rather than risk acquiring weapons and explosives from abroad, it's much more likely they were acquired domestically. >> these two guys apparently didn't have much money, but enough to buy explosives, pressure cookers, a rifle, long rifle according to the watertown police chief i spoke with. other weapons, as well. >> i'm sure they're already well into the suspect's computer files and financial records. we're getting a mixed picture because on the one hand, they seem to have had a modest style of living. on the other hand, there is that picture that's been widely circulated of suspect number one wearing expensive shoes, expensive clothes, other reports by people who knew them that the older brother engaged in a more lavish lifestyle.

citizenship as far as the law is concerned? >> no, i don't think it would make any difference at all, because when this occurred and when the action occurred, when the crime occurred, and when the refusal, if you will, to read him his miranda rights occurred he was a citizen. so i don't think that would matter at all. >> all right, fred. >> christopher, this is fredricka in atlanta. i'm wondering, given you defended timothy mcveigh, oklahoma city bombing case, are you seeing any parallels between this case and that which you defended? >> well, there's certainly some parallels because you have the explosions and this wasn't -- fortunately, wasn't as devastating as the oklahoma city bombing was. but the trial is going to be as difficult, i believe, as the oklahoma city bombing. when you have to get in and get experts and bombing experts and people to help you learn how to blow up a bomb, build a bomb and clean up a bomb, that takes an extensive amount of time and a lot of expertise. whoever ends up defending this man is going to
